Fool's Gold

They come to take the earth away And what they leave is not enough For all they get is just a field And it's the biggest kind of bluff And I have seen them at their work And I have watched them at their play And I've been near enough to hear Them saying "Now we're on our way" But it's fool's gold The things they do are all for fool's gold For everything is built on fool's gold The end result is only fool's gold And I have seen them on the hill They've been around now for some time But all they do is laugh and drink And seem to think that they're divine And I have watched them move the earth And I have heard them close their deals And I have thought that they are fools For taking things away from me For it's fool's gold The things they do are all for fool's gold For everything is built on fool's gold The end result is only fool's gold Track from the album "Devil In The Detail"
